Work Package 8 in INTERACT III has produced a deliverable report on Protocols for (target and nontarget) screening of contaminants of emerging concern at INTERACT stations, available below.This deliverable builds on earlier work to examine options for practical work that could be implemented at INTERACT stations to support environmental contaminants monitoring and research. All deliverable reports can be found under “Deliverables” here on the website.
